Season 2 · Domed StadiumsThe domed structure is one of the earliest forms of shelter–from African mud huts to frozen igloos to holy shrines and cathedrals.

And today, as we see here, engineers have enlarged and transformed the ancient concept to build some of the world’s most spectacular structures–domed sports stadiums.
